He was a rebel she was born across the tracks

Her parents had his never did

To look at them it didn't fit

Everyone whispered ain't it weird him with her

It'll never work that's what they said

But to this day he takes away her breath 



Love didn't listen

It only hears what it wants to hear

Two hearts beating as one

The odds were against 'em

Oh but they had something on their side

When doubt said it can't be done

Love didn't listen 



Married one summer and it was heaven seven years

Yeah, there were tears but no big deal

They just kept rollin' up love's hill

Then one night it happened, bitter words, slammin' doors

She said divorce he said me too

But even though it sounded like the thing to do 



Love didn't listen

It only hears what it wants to hear

Two hearts beating as one

The odds were against 'em

Oh but they had something on their side

When doubt said it can't be done

Love didn't listen 



It was an obstacle course

Had every negative force

Tellin' them they'll never make it (but) 



Love didn't listen

It only hears what it wants to hear

Two hearts beating as one

The odds were against 'em

Oh but they had something on their side

When doubt said it can't be done

Love didn't listen
